| I owned this airplane from 1984 through 1991, and put a little over 100 hours on it in that time. It's a very graceful ship to fly. Penetration issn't all that great; L/d drops a bunch at high speeds. For a wooden ship, it's great to fly, very easy to control. It's been to 30,000' in wave, and 500 km cross country flights here in Alberta. | |
